Seriously, how fantastic is the Art of the Danforth? How much of it have you taken in? Has there been something that has inspired you? Amazed you? Brought a smile to your face as you walked along the street? For me, it was walking home from East Lynn Park with my two little boys and stopping to type a message on a…typewriter! My kids were incredulous at such a machine. We left the message, “I am six years old” tied to the tree. That six-year-old said the whole experience was ‘super awesome.’ Also, we really liked the electronic window pong and watering can. And if you don’t know what that is, you should take a wander down the Danforth before this weekend is done.
